The MGR window system (2016)
Curious that this doesn't sound compatible with X, but in the screenshot there's certainly something that looks like xeyes and xclock running.

Xeyes and xclock were probably ports or variants of programs that had existed on Unix window systems since forever ago.

I think Windows 3.1 also had something like xeyes. It might have been part of an add-on pack, but I remember it existing. Maybe putting eyes on screen to follow a mouse was an early Hello World for GUIs.

There is an mgr-specific program called "mgreyes.c" included in the source tarball. So it was probably a from-scratch clone.
